Acne? There's an App for That!

The other day a Facebook pal of mine (alright, a Glamour.com blogger Facebook pal!) wrote that she wanted to stay home for the day because of a recent acne outbreak (been there, done that!). But wait, if she had this crazy and unbelievable new app for the iPhone, could she have zapped her zits fast?

It's called AcneApp, and WebMD says the new iPhone app works like this: "Download the application and hold the phone to the skin so the light therapy can do its work. Multitask if you wish, remembering to switch sides so your entire face gets the treatment."

But wait, does it work? It's supposedly one of the most popular medical apps on iTunes, but there have been no studies proving that it works and dermatologists are skeptical. Plus, given the fact that your phone, by nature, is covered in oil, bacteria and old makeup, some question whether more face-time with your phone might just give you more zits.
